Gold Coin St George and the Dragon 1 oz Gold 2026
St George and the Dragon 1 oz Gold Coin 2026 is a prestigious bullion issue from the British mint The Royal Mint, inspired by one of the most recognizable scenes in the history of numismatics—Saint George’s battle with the dragon.
The coin is struck in Au .9999 fine gold, weighing 1 troy ounce (31.1 g) with a diameter of 32.69 mm. It carries a face value of 100 pounds sterling (£100), a reeded edge, and is in mint condition. The piece is delivered in a protective capsule.
The motif of Saint George fighting the dragon first appeared on English coins in 1526, on the so‑called "George noble." The 2026 issue continues this centuries-old tradition, presenting a modern interpretation of the classic theme.
The reverse design by Sandra Deiana depicts a dynamic scene of Saint George battling the dragon, combining classical symbolism with a modern artistic approach. The composition references historical depictions while introducing contemporary details and the precision of craftsmanship characteristic of The Royal Mint.
The coin has been produced to The Royal Mint’s high bullion standards, ensuring its quality, authenticity, and wide recognition on the investment market.
Obverse features the official portrait of King Charles III by Martin Jennings, together with the face value.
